A Cyberpunk 2077 player has discovered an Easter egg hidden by CD Projekt Red in the main menu.
While the role-playing game features layers upon layers of open-world exploration with all manner of references hidden throughout, fans were perhaps overlooking this one, which was available from the moment they booted up the game.
Shared by @crushovitz_b on X/Twitter, below, players can discover the Easter egg for themselves by clicking on the version number, which is currently 2.12, in the top right corner. The number flicks between several different symbols and numbers before unfolding into 2.0.77.

It's unclear when CD Projekt Red added this reference to Cyberpunk 2077, but it wouldn't be too surprising if it had sneaked in alongside the latest patch.

This isn't the only hidden reference to be found in March 2024 either, as one player recently discovered a wild Easter egg that involved finding a random diner, climbing to its roof, and looking through a pair of binoculars at a red bird (akin to CD Projekt Red's logo) to see a photo of the development team flash across the screen.

Cyberpunk 2077 also had myriad Easter eggs added alongside the Phantom Liberty expansion, including a clever nod to the original The Witcher game, a very on-brand secret message, and even a studio history lesson from CD Projekt Red founders Marcin Iwiński and Michał Kiciński.
Phantom Liberty arrived alongside the game-changing Update 2.0, which completely revamped Cyberpunk 2077 with features such as a new perk system and improved AI. It also brought closure to an Elon Musk fan theory, a reference to the late racing legend Ken Block, and bizarre additions to the game's biggest mystery. Update 2.1 later added a full metro system, romantic partner hangouts, new vehicles, and more.
In our 9/10 review of the game, IGN said: "Cyberpunk 2077 throws you into a beautiful, dense cityscape and offers a staggering amount of flexibility in how you choose to take it from there."
